Interior proposal would block oil shale
development on federal lands in West

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Zack Colman

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/9/2012 4:39:02 PM

The Interior Department on Friday issued a final plan to close 1.6 million acres of federal land in the West originally slated for oil shale development. The proposed plan would fence off a majority of the initial blueprint laid out in the final days of the George W. Bush administration. It faces a 30-day protest period and a 60-day process to ensure it is consistent with local and state policies. After that, the department would render a decision for implementation. The move is sure to rankle Republicans, who say President Obama’s grip on fossil fuel drilling in federal lands is too tight.

Comments:
The regime sure isn't waiting to fullfill their deeds of destruction. If this is how they are behaving immediately I shudder to think what we will look like in four years. I may feel worse today than Tuesday. The move is sure to rankle Republicans?? That's an understatement.

The Hill sees everything as a political football. The people most upset will be the countless workers who will either lose their jobs or lose any opportunity for one.

The commies have a whole slate of things they have been working on in secret for the past 4 years. That is why it looked like Obama did nothing at all his first term. But in truth the whole group has been planning, coordinating, and setting all this stuff up so they can implement everything at once (overwhelm the opposition) after the election--which they made sure they won. They stole the election. I even think there were moles in Romney's camp that helped them. I wish I were qualified to run the RNC and had influence among all the elected GOP. I know what the left has been up to, what they do, and I know what we need to do. But we don't have smart enough problem solvers on our side. I could do it. That is one thing I know. It is so frustrating...

But Obama said he was a "all of the above" kind of a guy when it came to energy. Or was that just said to get himself re-elected?

Gee.. wonder if any of the fools who voted for Obama are starting to feel just a teensy bit like they got rolled by Obama and his thugs.

At this rate, the destruction of America should be over by Christmas.. well before the Coronation in Washington DC in January.

I'm trying hard to stay positive and look down the road 4 years, but as each hour goes by, this administration just gets worse and worse. It is just as I knew it would be---he has nothing to fear now, no re-elect to face, so he will be insufferably Marxist and drive this nation into oblivion. I weep for my kids.

So begins the required legal farce. First, propose, then review the objections, then revise, then adopt.

They will end up doing what they please anyway.

The ritual allows influential Obama supporters time to secure exemptions for their own interests. And for attorneys to shake more money out of frightened oil companies.

Hold Democrat voters responsible. Make them answer for their vote. Do they support what he's doing? If so, why? If not, why did they vote for him when he made it clear he would do all this all along.

Time to shame and blame.

First, there ought not to be any federal land outside of Washington, DC. But as indicated by #17, "The oil will still be there when the Dems go out of power." That's why in previous decades I've never minded using up most of the Saudi oil; however, with our economy needing the benefits of more robust domestic drilling, it's time to start focusing on bringing our oil business home. If we can keep this administration from excessively regulating development on private property, we can wait four more years to start tapping resources on federal land.

#3. Obama is an "all of the above" guy. He wants to shut down ALL energy production.

This is just the beginning. He will work his way through not only all federal lands, but through state, local, and private reserves as well. It will probably be mostly the EPA, but there will no doubt be other regulatory agencies he will use for the dictatorial task of shutting down domestic energy production.

Now that the election's over the Executive branch can stop touting how the U.S. is becoming the world's largest oil producer because of their work, and resume their all-out effort to destroy the oil and coal industries in the U.S.

Getting so tired of this &@^$%#! shuck and jive, and just plain fed-up with the Leftist news never putting them on the spot with their after-it's-too-late reversals on these things.

Dems and the Liberal enemedia have been coordinating their lies to mislead the people. And that's the kind of habit that leads to armed revolt.

In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

Kaiser: Faith in Obamacare

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Celebrity chef Paula Deen admitted in a recorded deposition to telling racist jokes, using the N-word, and planning a slavery-themed wedding, according to multiple reports. The May 17 deposition where she made the alleged admissions is part of a $1.2 million lawsuit brought by Lisa Jackson, the former manager of a Savannah, Georgia, restaurant run by Deen and her brother Bubba Hiers. Jackson alleges in the suit that Deen used the N-word at the restaurant and that Hiers sexually harassed her. According to the reports, in the deposition, Deen replied “Yes, of course,”

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
